Let’s say that you’ve just posted something on Facebook and you want to preserve it for posterity on another website or blog. Here’s what I’m doing here.

After I posted something on my profile page (a.k.a., my personal Facebook page), I shared it, with a couple of complementary links, on my Facebook fan page (a.k.a., my business Facebook page), so my fans could see what I’ve been up to on a Saturday afternoon. Are you with me so far?

Then, on my Facebook fan page, I click the little drop-down menu arrow at the top right of the post. From that menu, I click Embed Post. (You may have to choose “More Options,” to get to “Embed Post.”) Facebook shows the code you need to copy, which links to your post from a web page, Tweet, or wherever it was you were going with this.

Now that I have the code, all I have to do to put it on this page, is paste it into a frame and we should be good to go!

If you want to become known as the Palm Desert SEO Expert, all you have to do is create a blog, post once a day, or at least a couple of times per week, ensuring you include the search terms you expect people to use to find your blog or website, add keywords in your META data, and like magic, you will rise to the top of the heap and be found on the front page of Google. That sounds easy, right?

OK, I am often in the semi-facetious mode when I write things like that. The truth is, many people lack the time or talent to create a blog and write useful copy daily, or even weekly for that matter. It takes some fairly simple skills to create a blog, but it takes some serious dedication and a bit of writing talent to produce useful content to share with your audience. Then there’s all of that “behind the scenes” stuff, called META data.

Lest I leave out the rest of this story, you also have to promote your blog and/or your website, through every method available to you. Yes, you guessed it. That means Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google+, and any other social networking resource where you can post content.

I almost forgot to mention two more rules. If you want to be found by someone searching for “Palm Desert SEO Expert”, be sure to include those words in your title (if possible) and definitely within the body of the content you are posting on your blog and your website.

You can also cheat a bit, with a paragraph like the one below. Here I simply paste from a stored text file a standard explanation of who I am and what I do. It makes perfect sense that if I expect you to take advice from me, you should know something about me and my business.

That’s the best advice I have for you in this SEO expert dissertation. One last thing, though: Do your best to post original content (for two reasons).

your words and your sentence structure become your voice.

if you have to use someone else’s content to make your point, maybe you are not the expert after all!

You may have heard of this one. Hopefully, you will not have this experience. There is a (relatively) new virus going around that hijacks your computer, accuses you of criminal activity and warns that the FBI is coming to arrest you. If you want to remove this virus – according to their instructions – you are to purchase a moneypak for $200 and send them the money.

Here’s a link to a video on KATU News, from Portland. The best parts of the video are where they show a computer technician working inside of a computer – purportedly “scrubbing” the virus out of it. That’s just nonsense! The other good part is the end, where they take a parting shot at one of the people in the report. They say, maybe it pays to be a dog person!

In any case, if you know what you are doing, you won’t have to open your computer to remove the virus. Just boot into safe mode with networking, download Malwarebytes and ComboFix, run them and you should be back in business in about an hour. If you need help doing any of this, of course, you know you can call me for the help you need.

This might be the silliest thing I have to say, but I have to say it. If something stops working on your computer for no reason at all, you probably should reboot your computer. Restarting Windows computers does a “reset” of the system in a way that often restores full functionality. And, you’ll save yourself some level of angst, frustration, and potential wasted time, if you’ll just reboot and get back to work.

You can relieve yourself of that feeling of disgust for Microsoft by welcoming this opportunity to “take five” while your computer logs off, shuts down, and the system restarts. Seriously, don’t watch the computer reboot. As soon as you click, “Restart” – get up, think of some productive or more relaxing thing you can do for the next few minutes and go!

To try to put a positive spin on this situation, I offer this analogy. Suppose you stopped your car at some in and out kind of place, where you did not shut off the engine, because you are coming right back after doing what you are going to do. When you get back into your car, you find the engine still running, but your steering wheel won’t move, or you cannot depress the brake pedal, or you can’t move the gear selector into drive or reverse. Reflecting on the approach in paragraph two above, you take the Microsoft approach to resolution. You turn the key in the ignition to shut off your car, take a breather and a moment to relax, then start the engine again, and all your controls are restored. Now you can steer, brake, and shift gears and drive away. This would be a minor miracle! Yes, we know it doesn’t work that way, because your car is not running Windows.

But Microsoft Windows very often does work this way. It is a mystery or a conundrum, but either way, you get to start using your computer again and get back to all of that “time saving work” you were doing before you were forced to take a break.

Learn this one lesson and you’ll spend less time with that sinking feeling, you’ll make fewer calls crying out for help, you’ll enjoy a few minutes of up time as you take a short walk and do something better than staring into the monitor, and you’ll probably reduce your blood pressure and the level of stress in your life. Thank you, Microsoft, for making all of this special time available to me.
